Bit late but I've had time to digest;

6. Viney. Obviously.

5. May.

4. Brayshaw. Continuous involvement and reasonable effectiveness. Gave sheer weight of competent effort in a wet game.

3. Petracca. Would be higher except 0.4 is just... game losing.

2. Bowey. Whenever he gets it our situation improves a little.

1. Petty. As a token for the way the tall defenders handled the conditions and held their roles very well, and I think Petty being back in defence really helps that, -particularly gets the most out of Lever.

SIMON GOODWIN NEGATIVE 6

Bedford's game - and games to come. We knew he had it early with pace and grunt. Someone didn't play him to develop game-winning awarenesses and abilities. His raw skills were scrap-heaped through under-use without development. He seemed to pick these skills up mighty fast from the simplest of (new) efforts and opportunities. Someone seems to have got a special message through to him with relative ease, in contrast to the MFC system.  He can also line the sticks up and put the ball through with evasive ease and yet, he played backline mauler against us - and dominated, stopping some of our best with relative ease and real surprise. Makes you want to puke.

Yep. I didn't notice Bowey's involvement as much as others did. Interestingly, I just went and looked at his stats to discover he had the same number of disposals as Neal-Bullen (19 - the same as Lever, Harmes and Pickett, too) with 4 marks (to ANB's one) and zero tackles to ANB's 3. I'm not trying to compare them on the basis of stats - I'm just surprised I didn't notice him, other than when he popped up for that very good goal.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
